Despite the weather, bosses have confirmed that the open auditions will be going ahead as planned throughout this morning and afternoon.

David Walliams, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden are all back together on the panel for the second series, and today is the last chance to audition to stand a chance of putting your act in front of them.

The show will be holding an Open Auditions Day at The Oval (The Kia Oval is at Kennington, London, SE11 5SS) in London on Saturday, 19 January 2013.

Last year over 6,000 people turned up to audition at The Oval’s Open Day so the doors open at 9.00am and will not close until the last act is seen. Two of 2012’s amazing live semi-finalists auditioned at The Oval last year – singer Hope Murphy and circus performer, Billy George.

Matt Banks, Series Producer, Britain’s Got Talent, says: “We’ve already seen thousands of acts but we want to make sure we find the best talent around and this Open Day allows even more people to audition.

“After such a huge year for Great Britain in 2012 we want to keep Britain proud for 2013 by bringing a series packed with talent to ITV1.”
